it is about ready to hit its debt ceiling the president might have won this election but he didn't win the authority to write a blank check to continue to spend and spend and spend, to hit the debt ceiling and then go blowing through it. there may not be much conversation in washington between speaker boehner and president obama but the democrats control two third of this government. they might think about having a conversation among themselves, the senate and the president, to bring something that might have a chance of resolving these problems and maybe, they better think more about cutting spending before coming to us for more money. gregg: you know what, doug? karl rove wrote an op-ed in "the wall street journal" which he basically says, the president think it is all about him. the more mr. obama makes everything about him, the more stubborn he is likely to be when flexibility would be better. success requires adjustments, including a greater willingness to compromise and seek common ground with his opposition. fair point? >> oh, i think it is a fair point. i think it is a fair poi

it was irresponsible through the election. i think republicans thought that mitt romney could win and they would approach the fiscal cliff differently. democrats obviously hoped the president would win and they could do this at the last minute this is the way washington has operated now but the biggest problem isn't the lack of compromise it isn't the fact that they're doing this at the last minute. that we're still not serious about reforming spending and these entitlement programs. gregg: especially the entitlements. steve hayes, thanks very much. >> thanks, gregg. heather: coming up, big news to report about a celeb couple. i know gregg is waiting for this one. gregg: i'm so cynical about this. heather: kim kardashian and rapper con quite west -- can west getting ready for patter of little feet. gregg: 2012 with minutes taking away before we ring in the new year. thousands packing times square in new york city gearing up for a big party there. ♪ @ ♪ sing polly wolly doodle all the day ♪ ♪ hah @ gregg: the house of r

he won the election, and, since the day after the election he has been saying this is what's going to happen to get a deal. that you have to have rates go up. that is basically what senator chuck schumer said yesterday. take a listen. >> on taxes, i know it is hard for the republicans but the president ran on that platform, 250, no tax increases people below but taxes for people above. he won. 60% of the voters were for it in exit polls including some republicans. >> reporter: where we have been really throughout this entire debate which is probably maddening for a lot of our viewers both sides duking it, not making a lot of progress. they're contacting at staff level between congressional republicans and white house. no contact between president and speaker boehner recent days. this hasn't moved forward. what will likely happen they will continue to celebrate the christmas holidays. very likely a day or two after christmas the president will fly back to d.c., sit down with congressional leaders to figure this out, gregg. >> ed henry looks amazing as fresh as a daisy at 5:03 a.m. in h

i guess, yes, politically ahead of an uh election where a president is running for re-election with the idea al-qaeda is on the run and he is securing america and americans all over wouldn't want this kind of thing to happen, but what other evidence is there, concrete evidence that in fact the white house was more involved in what has been stated? >> there is a lack of concrete evidence because the administration hasn't made any senior principals who have had direct knowledge of the political chain of events that took place in the white house. we learned a lot more about what happened minute by minute in benghazi and not in the white house. the fact that susan rice and hillary clinton have not been up to testify yet is one of the problems. there is another issue that makes me certain. senior principals if you are the president and the ambassador to the u.n, susan rice or hillary clinton you get a treasure trove of intelligence when important events break. including susan rice and jay carney who went out on tv who said this was a reaction to a movie would have seen lots of intelligence f

obviously showed winning an election and staying on message is a winning strategy. he got republicans to budge on this decades long notion somehow or other lifting tax rates was going to be ruin news for the economy. i think we'll see that it's not. he got a lot of other provisions clean energy, tuition credits, senator for low income people. unemployment benefits extended that were on the line. i think john boehner is actually a winner too and here's why. he was not forced at end of the day to make his members walk the plank because the vote is in 2013. and not 2012. the, you know, the grow very norquist pledge could be observed. having their members vote to reduce rates. you heard senator mcconnell talk about for 98% of the people. that was something frankly not crystal clear even as a week ago whether boehner could make that stick. so i think he gets a good outcome here and kind of keeps his people in line. heather: we have to see what happens today just about 30 minutes from now when they go back to the house. tony, what do you think, president obama and john bo

want something to happen here and acknowledge, yes, the president had some leverage because he won the election but i thought both sides had and they were very close to a deal, gregg. that is the crazy thing here. they were very close. we had implosions in terms of the boehner leadership unable to hold his troops together. gregg: right. >> these guys are close. i think at this point, part of the negotiating dynamic is if we get close to the i have cliff you can get the troops to line up behind you and say, don't do it. that is terrible for the american people. that is bad way to run the government. gregg: mary katherine, no way to run a government but we've been saying that for 200 years. and i have too. but, mary katherine, look, what does it say about boehner's leadership, when he can't even get a vote on his own plan? >> no, i think that was a good opportunity for republicans to pass something. i think many of them made a mistake in foiling that plan because i think it was a decent one that had good points even though they obviously didn't get everything they wanted. i still think this could
